2013 Track Cycling World Cup - Manchester

Another warning, there aren't any direct trains between London and Liverpool this Sunday as far as I could see. I have to change via Stockport and it's going to take me 4 hours to get there.

going to go up on the manchester train so that I get there on time and then potter my way back later on the cheap trains, they seem to be more regular in the evenings. Not ideal but a bit of a savings and definitely won't miss anything.

It turns out the competition tickets we got include food and booze so not as bad as I thought money wise.

So, I have a couple of extra VIP tickets for the Sunday. Does anyone else want to come along. They are freebies.....

Dibs!!

^^ Moriarty is that you?

^yeah, who's that?

Well, it's T-V, of course.

I'm going on Sunday. Found London Midland trains have got a deal at the moment where you can travel anywhere on their trains for £15 a day.

It'll get you London to Liverpool return (on any train London Midland) for £15 return :) Then you can get a train from Liverpool to Mancs for a few quid.

I looked at this. Its great for during the day but make sure you don't miss the last train back if you go do an evening session.

No one wants to get stuck in Liverpool.

Zeez, Dimi and Dan. That's it. Can you guys PM me your emails and I'll forward on the itinerary in the morning?

Ha! Simon!

You've already got my email address mate :)

Anyone going up today who's on the train to Manchester RIGHT NOW, check that you have your tickets. The train staff have found some.

Too bloody slow. If any two of the above can't go. I'll come!

new World record coming I think

Yes!!!

They'd have won the team pursuit at the 1984 Olympics with that time.

I've just got back. Loved it. Good to see Trott and co get the world record.

Anyone going, take cash as no cash machines at the venue and the bats don't take cards.

Thanks IIATB

*bars. Not bats!

There's a 24/7 asda in about 5mins walk from the velodrome, where you can get cash.

You here dimi? I'm block D near the back.

I'll put on my forum cap if I go for a wander.

Watching this at home, some proper bike porn on the track tonight.

Si no, I'm not there.
